Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults

About Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults

Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults suits couples who want a plain, self-catering base beside the island's longest beach without paying for services they will not use. The name states the rule: no children. A kitchenette in each apartment keeps breakfast and late suppers simple, and the outdoor pool gives somewhere to cool off before an evening in Ibiza Town or along the Playa d'en Bossa strip.

This is a three-star apartment building rather than a full-service hotel, so the style is independent living with practical backup. The address is Antonio Machado 7 in Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza, and cleaning, laundry service, a safe and wifi all appear in the facilities list. Anything that matters to your stay, particularly a late arrival, is best confirmed with the property before you travel.

Location: Eivissa (Ibiza Town)

Playa d'en Bossa runs along the south coast as the island's longest beach, with the big clubs lined up behind the sand. The address at Antonio Machado 7 sits back from that frontage: Playa d'en Bossa is 1 km away in a straight line, so reaching the sand means a short trip rather than a step out of the door. Ibiza Town port is 3.4 km from the building. In July and August the strip stays busy from afternoon until well after dark.

Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town, the walled upper town above the harbour, are 2.7 km away, which makes a taxi, a hire car or a summer bus the sensible way to reach the old streets instead of a long walk in the heat. Talamanca, the calm shallow bay on the far side of the marina from Ibiza Town, sits 4.4 km from Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults. In May, June, September and October those same short hops feel much quieter, and the pool and balcony earn their place.

Rooms and facilities

Each apartment is listed with air conditioning, a kitchen or kitchenette, a refrigerator, a TV and a telephone, and a balcony or terrace and a bath appear too. Couples who cook for themselves get the most from the kitchenette, keeping lunch and late supper simple. Family rooms are listed as well, which is worth clarifying with the property, since the adults-only name sets an age rule that the hotel itself confirms.

On site, the facilities list covers an outdoor pool with a terrace, a bar and a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, plus wifi, internet access, lifts, a safe and a first aid point. Car rental service and laundry service are available from the building. Late arrivals should confirm reception hours and key collection with Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults before travelling, and ask whether breakfast is served on the day of arrival.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 3.8 km from Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults in a straight line, a short leg by any measure. A taxi covers that hop quickly, and a hire car arranged through the building's car rental service saves a second trip. Buses from the airport run towards Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, so check the island bus operator for the current route and stop near Playa d'en Bossa.

From Ibiza Town port, 3.4 km from the apartments, ferries leave for Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, and the fast crossing to Formentera takes about 30-35 minutes. Arriving by sea, a taxi covers the last few kilometres from the harbour. Flights and ferries are fewer from November, so winter travellers should check schedules with the operators and confirm the property's own dates before booking. Dalt Vila is 2.7 km away.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The Puig des Molins necropolis, the Phoenician-Punic burial ground that forms part of the UNESCO listing, is 2.1 km from the apartments, and the walls of Dalt Vila are 2.8 km away, best walked early or late when the sun is low. The dunes and salt pans of the Ses Salines natural park begin 6.7 km south, where a car or a seasonal bus is the practical option.

Food on Ibiza runs to fish: bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island stew served in two courses, are the dishes to look for in the towns. Playa d'en Bossa itself is 1 km away for a swim before dinner, and Talamanca, 4.4 km from Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults, is the calmer bay for a morning. The big clubs sit directly behind the long beach at Playa d'en Bossa.

A day from Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults

Start with a swim, since Playa d'en Bossa is 1 km from Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults and needs no transport beyond a walk or a short ride. Come back for breakfast on the terrace or in the restaurant, then use the outdoor pool through the hot middle of the day. In the afternoon, 2.7 km brings Ibiza Town and the climb through the walls to Dalt Vila.

Spend the late afternoon on the Renaissance walls and around the cathedral, with the necropolis of Puig des Molins 2.1 km from the apartments if there is time. Return to Playa d'en Bossa for the evening, when the strip behind the beach fills up. A half day at the Ses Salines dunes, 6.7 km away, needs a car or a summer bus, so plan it as a separate outing.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourist business shuts roughly between November and April, so check opening dates with Apartamentos Arlanza Only Adults before booking a winter stay, and expect the heaviest demand in July and August along Playa d'en Bossa. A separate charge, the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa), is added per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with the type of lodging and the season, are lower in low season and for longer stays, and under-16s are exempt. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
